The only Item 5.08 in these records — move the meeting date, and the proposal deadline moves too
Super Micro Computer disclosed that its next annual meeting will be held April 15, 2026. Because it moved the date more than 30 days from the prior year meeting, it set a new deadline of February 5, 2026 for shareholder proposals under Rule 14a-8. Item 5.08, used for that disclosure, appears just once in the records this site holds as of 2026-09-02.

Key points
- Super Micro Computer disclosed that its next annual meeting will be held virtually on April 15, 2026, with a record date of February 17, 2026.
- Because the date moved more than 30 days from the prior year, it set a new Rule 14a-8 deadline of February 5, 2026 for shareholder proposals.
- That deadline falls just ten days after the 8-K was filed on January 26, 2026.
- Of the 644 SEC filings and 442 8-K family filings this site holds as of 2026-09-02, this is the only one including Item 5.08.
- Item 1.01 of the same filing discloses two revolving credit facilities of $350 million and $360 million entered by the Taiwan subsidiary.
1Move the meeting, move the deadline
For a shareholder to have a proposal included in a company proxy materials, it must be submitted by a deadline under Rule 14a-8. That deadline normally runs from the release date of the prior year proxy materials. When a company moves its meeting substantially, that anchor loses meaning.
The rule requires that where the date changes by more than 30 days from the prior year meeting, the company set a new deadline allowing a reasonable period and disclose it. Item 5.08 is the field for that.
2The dates disclosed
- 1Meeting dateApril 15, 2026, held virtually
- 2Record dateFebruary 17, 2026, fixing who may vote
- 3New deadline for shareholder proposalsMust reach the company Secretary no later than February 5, 2026
- 4Why a new deadlineThe meeting date moved more than 30 days from the prior year following the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025
February 5 falls just ten days after this 8-K was filed on January 26. For a shareholder, that leaves very little time between seeing the disclosure and preparing a proposal. What the rule requires is a reasonable period, and judging that is left to the company.
3Rarity of a single record
Item 5.08 is used only when a meeting date moves substantially. Where the schedule holds to its usual pattern, the deadline can be calculated from the prior year proxy materials and needs no separate disclosure. That it appears once in the records this site holds follows from that nature. The frequency of an item code itself says something about what happened at a company.
4Four items in one filing
This 8-K carries Items 1.01, 5.08, 8.01 and 9.01. Item 1.01 discloses two revolving credit facilities the Taiwan subsidiary entered with local banks, noting that proceeds may be applied to procurement of components and raw materials and that the agreement is governed by the laws of Taiwan with Taiwanese courts holding jurisdiction.
A change of meeting date and overseas subsidiary financing — facts of different character disclosed on the same day.
Why it matters
Moving a meeting date changes how long shareholders have to submit proposals. Ten days between disclosure and deadline is a practical governance question about the preparation time available to shareholders.
